I'd tested the eyes, the leds were lit, and one of them blinked out
when the beam is broken.  Tha'ts the same behavior as the identical
opener on the other door, so it's probably working properly.  This
morning, the door works normally.  Bah.  I hate machines.

Now, clearly there's something wrong with this opener.  Is it worth
trying to figure out what it is, and fixing it now, or should I plan
on replacing it the next time it breaks?
